EC50 values for the inhibition of adenylyl cyclase activity are reported as a range that varies inversely with [R]. Maximal inhibition is reported as mean ± standard deviation except for pilocarpine, for which inhibition was variable and increased with increasing [R] as in wild-type. These values are compared with the wild-type values for the same range of receptor site densities observed in wild-type-expressing CHO cells from data previously reported (20).
